Hanover police searching for missing woman

On Aug, 9th at approximately 4:20 p.m. the Hanover Police Service received an emergency call for service related to a suspected drug overdose in the 300 block of 10th St., in the Town of Hanover.

The initial reports had Hanover Police, Hanover Fire and Grey County Paramedics responding to a female who was in medical distress with no vital signs.
